Hello I Must Be Going

Melanie Lynskey stars as a depressed divorcee living back at home, seeking some form of escape, inspiration or even someone to distract her from her life.

Whilst I've seen Lynskey pop up in a lot of things (Perks of Being a Wallflower being the most recent aside from this), she doesn't seem to stray too far from the sort of character she played in Two and a Half Men. However, she gives probably her best performance here. She's intense and just does a great job, though it doesn't help that Christoper Abbott (who plays her lover) has the charisma and presence of a moldy carrot. His face is irritating, his acting more so.

A good film with a very shitty feeling about it, but it's yet again another 'Indie' film which chooses not to really make a concrete point or finalise all story strands, instead allowing the audience to assume certain things.

7/10
